Home!

Today we move into our new home here in Harrogate. It is a beautiful, rainy day...should be perfect for a move. We had a rough time finding a house - well, we actually had no trouble finding some, just trouble getting them - so it came down to the wire. This place is beautiful and right near town, the only drawback being the layout of the house but we'll happily make do.

Yesterday we got the keys and here are some pictures pre-move in.

The keys make me laugh, I feel that they are toy keys compared to what I am used to.

Here's the house with two children anxious to move in!!


Here's the front room:

I love the mouldings in the entry way and halls


The house is divided into two flats...the owners live upstairs and we have the main floor. It is great because most places in town have lots and lots of stairs but we have no stairs which will be great for Jonas. Hopefully we aren't too loud for our neighbors!!


The best room in the house will actually be Clara's bedroom. I hope she doesn't get too used to the size of this room...I am fairly certain it is the largest bedroom she'll ever have. :) Here is half of it:


I'm beginning to think that my mom belongs in England. We saw very few houses that did not have at least one room (if not the entire house) outfitted in blue carpet. Ours is no exception, but thankfully it is the guest room/office that is blue so my mom should feel right at home when she visits.


Lastly, the gardens which I am thankful we don't have to take care of. :) I can't wait for spring when we can buy a patio table and eat dinner outside.


We now officially have a house and are ready to have visitors any time!!

**As a side note, it takes weeks to get internet set up in the house. We are looking into alternative options but there is a chance we will be out of touch for a while. We'll let you know when we are up and running again!
